Tonight, we’re doing a big brainstorm and planning some awesome events and adventures! Think about what kind of skills you’d like to learn, experiences you’d like to have, and activities you’d like to try. Also, think about whether you’re like to work towards your Canada Cord in your Pathfinder journey.

Have a Pathfinder-aged friend that is interested in joining the unit? They are welcome to come try out a meeting! Speak with a Guider for more information.

Lastly, the West Coast Area is planning a trip to Britannia Mines on Saturday November 5. We need to apply as a unit to participate, and would submit forms and payment of $35 per Pathfinder after we are accepted. If you are interested in going to Britannia Mines on November 5, please let Karla know tonight as the call for expressions of interest opens this weekend.

As discussed at Pathfinders on Wednesday, this week we would like all Pathfinders to take 15min to try to log in to the GirlsFirst Platform. Go to the web address below and try to login. You might need your iMiss number (which you can request from Karla) to create an account for the first time. Remember, only one account can be created per email address so if you have another person in your family who is also a Girl Guide your account must use a different email address. If you can’t login that’s ok we’ll help you at the next meeting.

Once you’re in, take a few minutes to click around and explore the activity ideas. You can filter them so only the activities for Pathfinders show up. If you see something that seems fun, try “favoriting” it by clicking the “heart” icon in the bottom corner. 

Think about what activities you would like to do this year and bring your ideas (either from your own imagination or from GirlsFirst) to our next Pathfinder meeting!

We are excited to welcome everyone back for the 2022/2023 Pathfinder year!

Our first meeting of the year is Wednesday September 21 from 6:45 – 8:30 pm at St. Thomas Anglican Church (2444 E 41st Ave in Vancouver).

Come in uniform (if you have one – if not, check out this link for more information). Parents/guardians, please plan to stay for the first ten minutes to meet the leaders and receive some important information about the Pathfinder year.

Take a look at the Calendar of Events, which shares great information about the fun events, activities and meeting plans for the fall, including outings to Britannia Mines, a camp cooking cook-off at Deas Island, and fall camp at Camp Olave (save the dates)!
